some chestnuts il the FIRE. who picked
up the cat and raked out the chestnu.s
with the cats paw; he didn't care con-

ruling priesthood, they don't seem to
care how much we suffer SO long as they
get their chestnuts.
Seventh. Another thing our rulers
have adopted. which is calculated to
keep us in ignorance Of their doings and
the true state Of things in general, Is this:
They have forbid our reading any publ
cation, only such IS eminate from them
or their emisaries; they also forbid our
patronizing any but Mormon schools;
they also forbid our employing to work or
buying anything of the hated Gentiles.
They have arrayed themselves and their
followers against all the world. except
these that join their organization and
swear implicit and eternal obedience to
their commands.
Now, brethren, these are some Of the
fruits Of our ruling priesthood, that has
brought upon us, and is still arraying
against US, the bitter opposition, which
our ruling priesthood is striving to make
us believe to be religious persecution.
But they know better. They seem to be

II seems that there's another old and
staid member Of the bachelor fraternity
who has been nipped in the bud of bis
former useful life and scuttled in the
sea Of matrimony. 1t pains us to look
back and recount, for the past few years
only, the decimated ranks Of the Grand
Army Of Bachelors, whose solid columns
formed an impenetrable barrier to the
van guard Of womanly encroachment.
Therefore we weep; weep as we have
not for years. One by one those old

will continue indefinitely. Now. let u.
review some Of the teachings and doings
Of our leaders. Our leading men claim
that God has bestowed upon them a
priesthood, by the authority Of which
they rule BY divine right. That this
divine authority gives them the right to
rule in all things; both spiritually, poll.
tically, morally and temporarily, that it
is our duty to heed their teachings and
obey their counsels implicitly. They
also teach US that all governments and
laws, that do not emnate from or through
them, are illegal and not binding upon
Us, that we are not legally, morally or
in duty bound to obey any laws or man.

this priesthood assumes to itself most
wonderful powers and privileges, and, if
true, it is certainly world regeneration.
We'll, let us see. We read in good
book. "a tree is known by the fruit it
bears" etc.
The iirst fruit that presents itself is as

Funeral of MRS. white.

The funeral of Mrs. White, beloved wife
of DIR. NJ. G. White, professor in Yale Medi-
cal school, who died early last Friday morn
ing after long illness with a bronchial
trouble, took place yesterday afternoon at
$50 O'Clock from the residence of the family,
No. 4S College street. Rev. DR.. Goodsell,
pastor of the First NJ. E. church, of which
deceased was a member, of6ciated, and in his
remarks paid fine tribute to the worth and
beautiful character of the deceased lady. The
bearers were Messrs. Charles l.. Baldwin,
George II. Sutton, DIR. Henry Pierpont and
J. Leach Lyon. The interment was in Ever
green cemetery. The deceased will be deep
" mourned, especially by those who knew
her best Her health for number of years
past had been delicate, preventing her from
engaging as actively as she desired in works
of usefulness and Christian endeavor. On
account of the failure of her health DR..
White was obliged to abandon the field of
missionary endeavor in China, in which he
had rendered conspicuous service, service
in which his wife had ever been q most VAL
liable assistant and to which she was devoted.
She was lady of unusual refinement and
culture and beauty of character and bore her
deprivations incident to feeble health and
her suferings consequent upon the inroads
of disease without repining or murmaring
and with lovely Christian resignation. Last
winter while going out of the front door she
slipped on the ice striking violently upon
her head and arm, and in her enfeebled con-
dition the shock, no doubt, hastened the
progress of the disease which caused her
death.

William Rockefeller, whose country seat is
at Greenwich, sometime ago established a
deer park comprising forty acres, which is
inclosed by fence eleven feet high, and for
its further protection keeps within the in
closure ferocious dog. On Thursday after
noon, as Tillie E. Mead, the 13-year- old
daughter of Alexander Mead, was returning
from school across the fields of William H.
Mead alone, she observed a woman and a
dog leave the deer park by a gate, and al
most Immediately she was attacked by the
dog, which bit her twice on the right arm,
then caught her by the left hand and arm.
She finally managed to escape and hurry
back to her home bareheaded and with the
loss of her school books The shock to her
nervous system was so great that she has
been unable to leave her bed.
